Mr Cooper said: “For me and Elaine cycling has changed our lives. I started cycling in April 2013 after signing up to do a 500 mile charity bike ride. Since then I have rode more than 8,000 miles and have helped introduced a lot more people to cycling.”

The newlyweds have travelled to France this week for their honeymoon.
